Join Tim Behrens for an afternoon of Authentic Relating games and practices. In a time where we are more connected, and equally distracted, by technology, there is a growing need for meaningful connections within Sangha. By taking the time to be fully present with others and engaging in genuine, heartfelt conversations, we can foster a greater sense of connection, and intentional community.What is Authentic Relating?
Authentic Relating “games” are interactive exercises done in pairs, or groups, and are designed to help participants go beyond the small talk while exploring deeper levels of connection. They encourage a practice of open communication, active listening, empathy, vulnerability, and
self-discovery. They will challenge, and support, you in stepping outside of your comfort zone, in making new friends, and in experiencing the many facets of human connection.
About the Host:
Tim Behrens is a musician, writer, process artist, and moderator for Awkwardly Zen, a Denver-based spiritual Meetup group. Since 2019, he has attended a number of trainings and events with Authentic Revolution and ART International, two of the founding organizations for Authentic Relating, and is excited to be a part of bringing those practices to Kansas City.
Who can attend this event?
